Comment:

Knows his stuff and expects you to dive in as well. Have a question just approach him in person, but don't wait for him to come to you. Email, well best to just catch him in person he will help. He can apply the info like no one else, just not as organized as some. Take him, you will learn more about yourself not just the abc's of the course

Comment:

Dr. Godin is incredibly smart. He is someone you want to know and to talk to, but not someone you want as a professor. His teaching style is, well, not very receptive to students. Ignores many emails, is often unprepared for class. This results in very scattered lessons. Was struggling until I got help from another prof, then the tests made sense.

Comment:

Dr. Godin is a great guy with a ton of passion for the field. Talk to him for minutes and you'll find that out. Although he loves what he does, he's not great at teaching it. Almost like he's so smart he can't get the point across. But ever hear him make a speech? - unbelievable. Show you're passionate about the class and you'll get a great grade.

Great course, very focused on Sport Nutrition and metabolism. He doesn't hand hold, but is there if you need him.

Comment:

I've had Dr. Godin for both Sports Nutrition and Functional Anatomy both of which I'll never forget the material. He knows his stuff and is passionate about teaching it to his students, but he's definitely tough at times. He expects you to know all of the chapters for exams but if you're interested in the subject you should have no problem.

Awesome professor... The class is a lot of work and studying but that comes with the major. Not overly helpful in lab but when he does lecture you learn a lot!

Comment:

Jeff was an alright professor from the stand point of relating with the students. When it came to teaching, it came across as though it was another professor's teaching plan. All the slideshows were not made by him, so there was a lot of skipping around. He DOES NOT GO BY THE SYLLABUS. For someone who is head of the dept. he seems very amateur.

Comment:

He knows what he's talking about, but the big problem is that he doesn't know how to teach the material. His class structure comes off as if it's his first time teaching. He never follows the syllabus. I would try to avoid him if possible; if not, good luck teaching yourself everything.

Great teacher. If you show up to class, do the assignments, and most importantly show him you are trying you will do very well in his class. Tests are mostly from power points and some from the book. Really nice guy.

Comment:

the powerpoints is where he gets his questions from. The work load for heath and fitness was not that bad, I thought there was going to be more. We had allot of projects too. if you need help he helps. this was a good foundation for Anatomy ! and 2, It made thoes a little easier.

Comment:

Jogging class-the class was so stupid and the amount of work we had to do and the way he graded was ridiculous. Not really a class-You think jogging, easy. Well it was easy but there was a lot of busy work that he wasn't clear on how to do. For a one credit class, it's BS! Expect to check in and out of every class! You just run, walk or jog.

Prints out powerpoint presentations for class, easy for taking notes. There are kind of a lot of assignments, but he is lenient on due dates and grading.

The best teacher to take H&F with. Multiple choice tests, a couple papers, but not bad compared to some of the other Professors for the class. Plus, sitting in the back of class, you also get a nice view. ;)
